Extremely high income or assets of the father: Swiss child support

Rolf P. Steinegger

In 2011 the result of a comparison of law in a foreign case revealed that also in Switzerland the child maintenance contributions of fathers with extremely high incomes and assets stay relatively modest. Steinegger Rechtsanwälte requested a leading Professor of Law to prepare a legal opinion.

An expert in another international case established that, according to German law, contributions amounted to hardly more than 1500 - 2000 Euros per child.
